Great release, some really well done atmospheres and tones. Especially like the first couple of tracks. Obviously all fairly short pieces with interludes, like Hexagon Sun said, I'd also like to hear some of your idea's fleshed out into longer pieces. Certainly an excellent glimpse into what they would be like. Thanks for sharing!

really nice ep

i'll give some more feedback when i've listened to it more (i just downloaded it) but things i love already...the variation of style/sounds, some are very electronic sounding while others are very acoustic...cool mixup

also a lot of the songs kick in with the drums about halfway through, kinda surprised me a few times. pretty cool, i was thinking a bunch were just melodic vignettes, than bam, drums kick in and the song is groovin

nicely done, more feedback in the near future

Guido, still listenin to v3 but this is seriously wicked stuff man. Glad you're makin stuff again

Edit : That basilisk lizard track is wicked, is that what it's called or did you just do it for the video? Seriously, free music of this quality is awesome, there's some great stuff going on at twoism.

Edit 2 : Found it on v4!

I got played on New York WFMU FM radio!

They mixed it with a poem by Silvia Plath. Didn't know this poet before, but it works really well, although it might have been nicer if they left the original vocals in, but I'm not complaining!

You can listen to it by looking up Kashmir Boots in the list and clicking on the MP3 stream behind it.

The DJ of that show actually mentions my name and the name of the song, listen here: http://kashmirboots.com/upload/kashmirb ... eradio.mp3

I didn't have to do anything for this, my song was just included on a blog about french music a few weeks ago, and apparently they read it and downloaded my song off it.

Somehow missed listening to this over the Christmas madness of shop work. Just grabbed v4 and it's awesome. There's a real tangible atmosphere and mood to your stuff, which is the hardest thing to get right. Really gorgeous sounds.

'Zaterdag' kicks off like something from Aphex's SAW2. Lovely tune.

Brilliant you got played on radio!

You lucky bastard you!

I hope this'll give you some more motivation and inspiration to keep on going with your tunes. You deserve it Guido.

btw, how did the tune get to them?

I sent it to this blog, which is specialised in fragile french female vocals as you can see, and apparently I got some decent exposure out of it since I was played on a New York radiostation a while back (see above) and now on Radio 1.

It made me realise that apart from talent and motivation, as an artist it's necessary to arrange media attention in order to get noticed.

I'm almost thinking about posting you in this thread: Do you live near any famous musician?. On world-scale you don't live that far away

It must be really cool and weird at the same time to have your name mentioned on national radio....

Guido · Post by **Guido** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 12:12 am

Haha, I'm not that famous yet. And yeah, to hear my name and music on big stations like WMFU and Radio 1/KRO feels pretty strange

.

And Ae, I'm pretty inspired at the moment but my computer is dying (RAM issue I think - it lags alot whenever I'm doing something CPU intensive like producing), so whenever I have money again I will get a decent box and continue making music.

Hello Kasmir Boots,

One day I was looking for content about Boards of Canada (which me and a friend of mine are big fans of) and I stumbled upon this forum. I was so lucky to have found out about you and your music. It sounds very deep and warm and I love the melodies. This friend of mine also loves it!
Now and then we listen to it together. You should be on a bigger label such as Warp or something! You're good!
I was wondering (as I produce a bit myself too) what hardware gear do you use for those beautiful warm synths?

Keep up the good work! We hope to hear more from you soon!

Greetz,
Ruben & Stephan

Mazzelll ; )

Thanks guys, I feel honored! New music is on the way, I will be submitting some tunes to One On Twoism (check that series out if you haven't already) and I'm still working on new music.

Are you from the Netherlands as well? What part?

Roygbivman · Post by **Roygbivman** » Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:05 pm

Cool! Yes I've got all three One On Twoisms!
We're looking forward to it! I live in Friesland and my buddy in Brabant (but he's staying here now for a few days). You're from Brabant too, right?
But you didn't answer my question

Which hardware for the warm synths?

Cheers
